    airline flights are spreading covid-19 all over the earth.

    And if this gets into Mexico, Central America, the disease will easily spread into the USA as there is so much border trafficking of people coming here. If your over 60, then you are an easy target for dying with this, you get pneumonia and you cant breath.

    There was some mention of a woman super spreader in that cult Korean church that spread the virus to so many people. There may be people who carry this virus and never get sick.

    Some say there is fear-mongering, others say it's down-played. I am of the second opinion. It's better to err on the side of caution. We may have to quarantine ourselves in our homes or apartments. We should stock up on food, water, cleansing agents etc. Hold off on handshakes and hugging. Wash your hands thoroughly several often throughout the day. Avoid buses, trains and planes. Use a tissue when pressing elevator buttons and door handles. Wash your face more often. Don't touch your face unnecessarily. Lysol wipes are good. I have some face masks that were given by a Chinese friend here --she came to America almost two years ago --so no danger there.

    It concerns me that Chinese exchange students have gone back and forth from China --not in the last few weeks --but the virus started in December.

    rumor mill has it that the virus can live several days on porous surfaces e.g. snail mail.
